** Clara had spent most of the Eleventh Doctor's era as a LivingMacGuffin and two landmark specials as a rather generic AudienceSurrogate. In this episode, she gets [[InnocentlyInsensitive called ugly by Strax, mistaken for]] [[CompanionCube Handles]], goes through traumatic flashbacks about her rocky start as a teacher, and [[SlapstickKnowsNoGender gets hit in the face with a newspaper]]. This provided some much needed characterization for Creator/JennaColeman and some TakeThatScrappy for some fans who were unimpressed with Clara in Series 7.
** Moffat refutes accusations of ButNotTooGay by having Jenny and Vastra kiss on screen.

** The basic plot is sort of a DarkerAndEdgier version of the Fourth Doctor's first story, "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS12E1Robot Robot]]", which Creator/StevenMoffat mentioned using as a reference -- with the A and B-plots swapped. The Doctor regenerates and suddenly develops an absolutely crazy and seemingly uncaring personality that disconcerts his companion(s) and the people his previous self works with ("Robot" B-plot, "Deep Breath" A-plot, with Clara's discomfort central to the story) while a robot with an [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots ambiguously humanlike personality]] and [[PlotParallel psychological complexes mirroring the Doctor's own]] is responsible for some bizarre murders ("Robot" A-plot, "Deep Breath" B-plot). The Doctor's defeat of it is rather ambiguous as a happy ending, but the companion agrees to give the new Doctor a chance to befriend her -- after a bit of talking to from the Doctor. Several lines and setpieces from "Robot" were lifted into "Deep Breath" to indicate the similarities: Vastra quotes one of the Brigadier's lines apropos of nothing, and the Twelfth Doctor's white nightgown is similar to how the Fourth Doctor is dressed in the infirmary.
** The minisode playing before it in cinemas shows Strax giving a Field Report to the audience about all of the previous faces the Doctor has had, with funny descriptions of their personalities, to assuage an audience needing a reminder that the Eleventh Doctor was not always the Doctor -- a format previously used for one of the "Strax's Field Report" online minisodes. The introduction is repeated almost word-for-word, although Jenny and Vastra interrupt it in the cinema version. Few of the ''jokes'' are recycled, though -- Strax's opinions on the other Doctors (not to mention which gender he thinks they are) are completely different between both minisodes.

Hence shots of the unmodified TARDIS interior with aqua neon piping lights rather than the new orange, and no furnishings as of yet. Notice that the only scenes of the TARDIS interior in this episode concentrated in the present are set after it is "redecorated"- hiding the fact that set designers had painstakingly remodeled the room. Before the "redecoration" takes place, there are no shots set directly within the TARDIS interior. The camera merely shows the entrance of the TARDIS as the Doctor and Clara step out.

* ThrowItIn: The Creator/MattSmith mask the Doctor wears during the climax of the story was completely unintentional; the prop department grabbed a random latex mask from storage when taping, and wasn't aware of what happened until after the scene was already shot. The production team found the accidental symbolism so fitting that they left the gaffe in.
